Be Human Evangelism

Lauren Holbrook reminds us of what evangelism really means.

  • What comes to your mind when you hear the word evangelism? You may have a memory of hearing the gospel for the first time at a VBS or you were blessed to hear a missionary share an incredible testimony of someone in their community coming to faith. For me I think back to my experience of beach evangelism, which was a key component of my summers serving with a college ministry. This one hour in my week was exhilarating and terrifying at the same time!

Why We Can Still Walk Forward Into the Light this Christmas

Nancy DeMoss Wohlgemuth points us to the light shining into the darkness.

  • I’ve always found it worthy of note that God’s Son arrived on the earth without much of a splash. No first-century version of a media blitz. No big publicity campaign.

Review: The Balter of Ashton Harper

S.D.G Morgan reviews Millie Florence’s new middle grade novel from Bandersnatch Books.

  • When I started reading The Balter of Ashton Harper, it struck me at first blush as a fun and fanciful Middle Grade imitation of a Jane Austen novel of manners. For the first few chapters, I assumed the plot would only be about the main character, Ashton Harper, and his angst-ridden drive toward perfection in his dancing. And of course, that alone would make a fine and fun novel. But as I continued on in the narrative journey I discovered that the book widens and deepens like a meandering river.
